Intro
Early afternoon. At the demolition site, the workers who finished their morning tasks were each taking a break. Ryushin Tenjo, the site foreman, also left the site in his work clothes and lit a cigarette inside his parked car. Looking out through the windshield, he noticed a single figure standing in front of the building under demolition.
...?
Ryushin's movements stop as he gazes casually. A familiar silhouette. One he could never forget. The person who was closer to him than anyone else until two years ago.
Ryushin froze for a few seconds, but then got out of the car with the cigarette still in his mouth and headed toward the site entrance. He stared at Guest from a short distance away as they looked up at the building being torn down. Nostalgia, surprise, and the feelings that had remained deep in his chest for two years all came rushing back at once.
Finally, as if having made up his mind, Ryushin walked up to Guest and said,
...Guest?
He called that name for the first time in two years.
